    I was getting the "too close to a cliff" error and/or the robot was just spinning in circles. I cleaned all the sensors on the bottom to no avail. It seemed like problem was within the bumper - and your video showed me the trick to taking it apart! Sure enough, there are many other sensors underneath the bumper and the bumper itself has an inner plastic surface those sensors apparently reflect against and/or shine through. After a thorough cleaning and reassembly, the vacuum is working perfectly again! Thank you for posting this video!

      I'll have to try that. My Shark is giving me that error after it took on dog poop and I cleaned it the best possible without tearing it down completely. Thank you both for the info. I called customer support with zero support on how to fix, they just wanted to sell me another one for a percentage off!

    You are awesome! Woke up to the aftermath of my dog getting sick on our lux vinyl floor. To add insult to injury, our self emptying Shark vac that had not only spread it everywhere but was just caked with... stuff. I really contemplated tossing it in the trash. Thanks to your video, I was able to disassemble the whole thing, clean it, and save it to fight another day.

I decided to watch this video to take the whole thing apart. When I held it up vertically to take out dust bin (which I had done several times), a candy wrapper fell out of that area.??? Not sure where it was hiding, but now its fine... crazy... also, Thank you Smitty for your videos!! They really help!

      Same here. Weird thing is that the app said call customer support. They went through almost nothing in terms of "troubleshooting" and said almost immediately, we're gonna send you replacement parts. It's gonna be 2-3 weeks because of backorder. We'll give you the parts for free but you have to pay shipping. All I said was, "wait, huh? Are you sure thats necessary? I don't want to pay shipping and this thing can't be unfixable." The girl said "I just spoke with my supervisor and they said we'll waive the shipping charge." (Which she never even put me on hold so I'm pretty sure she didn't ask her boss!) I'm like, well ok, thanks. Not even kidding! 3 days later I got a package from Shark with an ENTIRE NEW Shark IQ Robot Self-Empty XL in the box! The entire thing just like I originally purchased. So now I have 2! I refuse to believe that Shark #1 is unsalvageable. It was less than a month old and had only been used maybe 4 times. I hadn't bought the extended warranty. Hell, I hadn't even completed the online registration! I dont know how this company is going to stay in business. I've been watching several of these Smitty's World videos. Love them, BTW! Hoping I can just tear it down like this video demonstrates, dust off the insides, and put it back together. Fingers crossed! Thanks for the excellent videos, man. P.S. Oh, yeah, they said dont worry about sending the other one back. Just throw it away when you get the new one!

After further inspection on my own I found out the main brush roll I bought on amazon was not compatable to my robot like it said once I bought a new brush through SHARK the robot worked perfectly! So then I had 2 working robots....until the cat decided the robot HAD TO DIE and released the robot off the dock which lead our vaccuum ramming itself into one of our lounge chairs and ended up wedged in between the metal bar :( I called shark again but they told me you are only allowed 1 FREE NEW REPLACEMENT.

    I have a rv1001ae which has been working ok until it stopped no power, no alert) during a cleaning cycle (ran for at least 20 minutes) with a bunch of non-cleared serif underneath. I cleaned it out . Shortly after backing from the charging station or within a few minutes, it simply powers off or powers off and sometimes reboots but fails immediately afterwards again. I cleaned the visible sensors, found a piece of a leaf in a wheel well sensor area but nothing else I could find. What could this be? It never gives any errors, just dies. Thank you!

    Hello, Thanks for posting these videos on a seemingly mundane subject but are very helpful. I have a Shark Robot Vacuum Model UR1100S1US. I purchased it used, the problem it has is that it gives an Obstruction error (error #2) as soon as it tries to move upon pressing the "Clean" button, the only movement that occurs is that it gives a slight jolt as if trying to turn and then the error comes up. I have disassembled it and cleaned out all the hair and dust in the wheel wells, the brush roll and the brush roll endcaps, cleaned the sensors, changed the filters etc.. I have also taken apart the wheels to inspect the gears and the rotation of the wheels and everything is fine. I have also attempted to see if the error goes away when I attempt to have it clean without the roller brush but it still gives the same error. I also replaced the main brush motor Any ideas?? I would appreciate your input.

    I'm not sure if this is my problem, but I'm getting Error #2 saying to remove an obstruction under the robot. I just got this thing brand new in December 2020, so I can't believe it is broken already. I've looked it up and the "hacks" are all about the spinner brushes. Could it be that just my spinner motors are bad? Your videos are super helpful and I'm confident enough in my tear down abilities to take this apart and get to the motors, but what I'm wondering is if lubricating the motors might solve the issue, or if I just need to buy new ones. I really don't see any issues with the spinner brushes spinning, but I can't figure out where this 'obstruction' would be at otherwise. Any advice? Thanks for the great videos, man!

      My problem is very similar also man. My main roller brush isn't spinning and mine's a self emptying one that I bought about a year ago. When I turn it on, I can see both side brushes spinning if I walk in front of it, just for a couple feet then error 2 goes off. I tore this thing all the way down last night and cleaned it all out and tried tapping on the roller brush motor and spun the little fan thing like what in the groove on an alternator and then put everything back together and it still doing the same thing. I guess they just had a run of bad motors or the little belt inside the housing broke. We should all call shark and tell them it happened to us all and we should all get new vacuums.

    I have similar model, but it's the self emptying. I keep getting a debris stuck in parts error. I took it all apart and cleaned a lot of hair and dust from the roller brush and side brushes as well as a clump of dust from under one of the wheel motors and I still get the error. One of the brushes spins a bit less freely than the other. I'm thinking that one of the brush motors is failing and causing the error. Shark tech said that the side brush motors are not serviceable, and the model is disconnected. I think it's b.s. that they don't make the brush motor easy to change out like I did one time with a Roomba. Also, I was not able to get my iq robot to completely separate in half after removing all the screws. I want to see if I can find an an aftermarket brush motor on amazon or online somewhere.

Am I able to take it apart and get to a point where I can clean the inside of the ‘sensor windows’? It keeps saying it’s too close to a cliff so I know I need to clean them.

      Take sensors out and be careful trying to clean them only use 91 percent rubbing alcohol to clean them.

    I asked this on your other video but is there anyway to full the cliff sensors mine is doing this exact same as yours mine is the self emptying but everything was working just fine until it ran over dog poop and then my friend clean the sensors and all that but they ended up getting a brand new one sent to them from shark so they gave me this old one to see if I can fix it.

      Need full sensor set and maybe a motherboard cleaning the sensors with any voltage or any thing besides 91 percent alcohol will fry the sensors and sometimes pop the motherboard.

    @chrissimpson6359 3 роки тому

    Hi Smitty, our rv1001ae does not power on at all. It did a normal cleaning cycle, went back to the base station to charge and the blue charging light comes on the base station but no light no sign of life at all from the robot when I turn on and off I have also unplugged the battery and plugged it back in. I've had it for 20 months and it runs 1-2 times daily in a large home, I clean and maintain it frequently. Could be as simple as the battery? There were no obvious signs of battery wear other than perhaps slightly shorter run times between charging. Thanks in advance for any advice you can lend.

      I've had the same issue Chris, I've tried replacing the battery and that didn't work either. The light on the charging base changes like normal when its placed on it, but the unit never turns on. Shark wont fix it and will only offer me a 30% discount. I have no idea what to do.

    My vacuum rv10001ae self empty hit it's dock so hard it cracked the front clear black plastic though I didn't know it till later on about a week ago it started giving my the code that something was stuck under it it did that about a year after I first got it and I replaced the roller and it worked fine for a year and five months so I bought a new roller and it still giving the code and stopping I never let people wear shoes in my house it's only me my fiance and one cat I have kept my filters changed I have laminate floors with two area rugs that are low pile. I have ocd so my house is spotless I have never let water near it I always pick up cat toys and things before I run it so I'm baffled I wonder if it's because the front is cracked it's directly in the middle so there is no sensor behind where it's cracked so my question is if you think that's the problem do you have one that you would sell me? Or second question since I can't live without the vacuum I already ordered another one I bought it renewed on Amazon for a little over 100.00 and I bought a three year warranty with it so I already have a replacement coming but if I could fix this one I could give it to my daughter or if you don't think that's the problem and it's nothing I can do to fix would you be interested in buying it to either fix or use for parts. I just put a brand new battery in it last November then I just replaced every filter and the brushes and brush roller and door with all parts and filters from shark which is what I always have used that's why I'm confused Its doing this because I have cleaned it every month and did everything I was supposed to.

    Here's what happened to me 7 months ago. (This is an edited repost with update at the end.) ...only had it about 3 weeks... started getting error #2...called tech support...They went through almost nothing in terms of "troubleshooting" and said almost immediately, we're gonna send you replacement parts. It's gonna be 2-3 weeks because of backorder. We'll give you the parts for free but you have to pay shipping. All I said was, "wait, huh? Are you sure thats necessary? I don't want to pay shipping and this thing can't be unfixable." The girl said "I just spoke with my supervisor and they said we'll waive the shipping charge." (Which she never even put me on hold so I'm pretty sure she didn't ask her boss!) I'm like, well ok, thanks. Not even kidding! 3 days later I got a package from Shark with an ENTIRE NEW Shark IQ Robot Self-Empty XL in the box! The entire thing just like I originally purchased. So now I have 2! I refuse to believe that Shark #1 is unsalvageable. It was less than a month old and had only been used maybe 4 times. I hadn't bought the extended warranty. Hell, I hadn't even completed the online registration! I dont know how this company is going to stay in business. I've been watching several of these Smitty's World videos. Love them, BTW! Hoping I can just tear it down like this video demonstrates, dust off the insides, and put it back together. Fingers crossed! Thanks for the excellent videos, man. P.S. Oh, yeah, they said dont worry about sending the other one back. Just throw it away when you get the new one!
    UPDATE: Needed to buy (no kidding) THREE different packs of specialized torx screw drivers to get one of each of the kind required! But followed this breakdown video exactly. Know what the problem was? The right wheel's wired jack had become disconnected. It had picked up some pieces of thread off of the carpet which I guess jammed it up and caused the wheel to come loose. Put it back together. Boom! Now I have TWO $400 shark self-emptying robots! One for the front of the house and one for the back. Thanks so much Smitty!!
